Cross - who plays Dr Tobias Funke - has now spoken about the creative freedom felt by the cast and crew once they no longer had to deal with network demands.

"It was as opposite as you can get. When we did the show for Fox, we all felt under-appreciated, and you really got the sense that we were a bit of a burden to them," he recalled to Rolling Stone. "The fact that we won an Emmy was the worst thing in the world [to Fox] - they would have loved to cancel us."

He continued: "The last season, after the fourth or fifth episode, we were going to work every day wondering, "Is this the week they're going to cancel us?" We all felt it.

"But with Netflix, it was just the opposite. They wanted us there. They stayed out of the writers' room. They stayed off the set."
